Turn empty drink bottles into indoor bowling pins

In late Fall, and Winter especially, it can get pretty boring to have the kids indoors most of the time. My three young boys and I came up with a bowling game that they love, causes no mess and keeps them entertained for a long time. It’s active too!

We take our used water and juice bottles and fill them with uncooked beans, (about a 1/4 full for water bottles, and about 1/2 full for bigger juice bottles), tape the caps on, and line them up for bowling! We use small, soccer-sized Nerf balls to aim and have fun! When they get bored with bowling, they inevitably use the bean-bottles as maracas! Recycling can be fun!
